Hello,
Today I used HTC's sponsored method to unlock the bootloader. My hope was to load CM7 onto my phone. I did something wrong and now the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen just loops.
My phone is NOT rooted. I can still access the HBOOT menu though and connect it to my computer.
I am also able to run CWM recovery v6.0.1.1.
Is my phone bricked or can I still load a stock image/custom image?
Thanks!
If you can get to the hboot menu, you aren't bricked yet. Did you flash the kernel? If you htcdev unlocked, you need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip, boot into the bootloader and run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" from a command prompt/terminal on your computer.

hey everyone, i have an sim free desire HD that was rooted and s-off and has been running like that for a while. recently i tried to access clockwork mod to try and flash a new rom but when i did so the recovery does not load. Its just stuck on the htc splash screen, it doesnt even say quietly brilliant. The phone still works but i cannot access recovery. I tried the following procedure in fastboot to re flash the recovery
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recoveryCWM.img
fastboot reboot
after doing this it still has not worked. Any suggestions or a certain fix would be brilliant.
Thanks
You can put the PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade post to your SD card and reboot to bootloader, it will flash you the 1.32 stock ROM and you can start from a clean table.
use an older version of recovery

I had the same problem, with clockwork 3.0.0.6 ... I then flashed 3.0.0.5 (see the bottom of the Rom manager Menu that proposes you to use former recovery roms). I could solve my problem that way.
MY dinc can boot up but gets stuck at boot screen.
I can get into recovery but even after I do a recovery it still is the same.
It says *** LOCKED (OOW) *** at the top of HBOOT screen. How do I go about fixing this?
S-ON
HBOOT 1.02.0000
Radio 2.15.10.07.07
Have you tried wiping everything thru recovery, and then installing the rom fresh, instead of restoring a backup just to see if it works?
There's a factory reset in stock recovery. Try that. It sounds like you're not rooted so I expect you'd have stock recovery.

I have tried both of those options and neither one worked for me. I have clockworkmod installed.
I assume in order to get cwm on there in the first place you had to unlock the bootloader. However you posted that it says locked oow at the top of hboot, meaning somehow it got locked again. Im assuming or should i say guessing that the bootloader being locked again is preventing cwm from flashing things correctly. If you have unlocked before and still have the unlock_code.bin file, use fastboot to flash it to the phone to unlock it again. Then fastboot flash cwm again and see if it works. If you do not have the bin file i would do the htc dev unlock again on their site and then fastboot flash cwm.
So, my wife's Droid Incredible, went into a bootloop. It was completely stock, no modifications done, but while she was using it, it just started rebooting over and over again..it won't get past the first splash screen without rebooting.
At first, I thought it might have overheated, but evidently this is not the problem.
So I've been messing with it..I am able to get it into hboot (version 1.07), which I was able to unlock through hdev. I tried flashing CWM through fastboot, but the phone won't boot into recovery.
So could someone direct me to how to fix it? If I could put a stock image on the sdcard that hboot would install, would that work? Where would I find this image?
Thanks in advance.
Here is the information in hboot:

So you "tried" flashing CWM through fastboot. What exactly did you do, and what, if any, was the error? And how are you trying to get into recovery?
If you flash the recovery correctly, you should be able to get into recovery.

Okay, I did flash the recovery, with fastboot flash recovery. To boot into recovery, I am going back to the bootloader and selecting recovery. What happens is the device reenters bootloop at that point.
Update: I have now tried using PB31IMG.zip from here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.2/ by putting onto Fat32 sd card which then does get installed in hboot. When trying to boot the system, the bootloop is unchanged. However, now when I try to boot recovery, instead of looping, the boot freezes on the htc incredible splash screen.

Sounds like your recovery flash didn't take. Try putting this file on the root of a FAT32 formatted sdcrard, and then try to get into recovery.

Thanks for the help. So I went into hboot, hboot found the file, reflashed the recovery, then tried to boot into recovery but the same bootloop occurs. The splash screen htc incredible splashes, it goes black, vibrates, and splashes again until I pull the battery.
Is there anything else to try? Could I somehow replace the bootloader?
So I've tried a few more things now, still no joy -- using fastboot, I issued the following commands to flash an RUU
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name.zip>
However, the flash always fails.
I have also tried to use fastboot to erase the recovery.
fastboot erase recovery
Strangely, it fails when I do this, although it reports that it works when I tell it to flash a recovery image. Although I still can't boot into recovery.
However, I finally got hboot to flash one of the system roms by putting it on the sdcard (4.08.605.15 ) . Strangely enough, this worked only after I relocked the bootloader with fastboot. However, after this the situation remains unchanged.
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader. I flashed the cwm recovery by fastboot with the proper command and the command executed fine. I also erased the cache with fastboot. But when I select recovery from the hboot menu it gets stuck on to screen with the HTC logo with following text in red "this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc without written permission". I cannot access the cwm menu.
I tried the twrp recovery too but no avail. The same screen comes up.
I searched a bit and found that some have faced the same issue with HTC ONE X and had their problem solved by flashing an interim unofficial cwm built for their device. But I can't find any such interim cwm recovery for HTC ONE V.
Please help.

fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecovery.img
In my case it was fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Nothing wrong on my side. This is not my first time.
And the commands executed without any error.
I even relocked the bootloader and unlocked it again. But, still the problem persists.

If you take a ruu and remove the Rom.zip and from that take the recovery.img and flash that, does the phone boot into the stock recovery?

Hi,
I'm trying to flash TWRP on my Zenfone 2 Z00A but it won't work. I cannot boot to TWRP.
My device is unlocked and rooted and I can flash boot.img, droidboot.img and stock recovery.img but TWRP IMG won't work.
After flashing TWRP using command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and trying to boot into it nothing happens phone restart and boot to bootloader asking me to choose "Normal boot", "Recovery mode" "Reboot bootloader" ect.. and when I select "Recovery mode" phone restart and boot again to Bootloader not TWRP.
I also tried to flash TWRP using "Rashr" same problem not booting to TWRP.
Tethered CWM is working and I was able to boot to it but not TWRP
On the other hand if I flash back stock recovery and boot to it boots just fine.
What's wrong? Any idea guys?
Thanks in advance..
So, you've unlocked the bootloader or did you skip that part?

Yes it's unlocked.
When I flash TWRP via CMD using fastboot command it shows successful writing TWRP IMG file. Otherwise it will show permission denied if the bootloader is locked AFAIK.
The splashscreen is white which means the bootloader is unlocked. But I don't know why it's not working.
Device is CN version flashed with WW firmware.
TWRP App-based installation
I've also tried upgrading to twrp-2-8-7-2-Z00A.img from within the TWRP Manager app. It seems to download and gets to the "installing/verifying" screen, then dies after a minute or two. The phone is rooted and unlocked. But after about the 4th or 5th try, it worked.
Ok problem solved
It turns out there was a problem with the bootloader. I used the adb commands to unlock it and it was showing successful but some how it was not unlocked fully as it seems.
The splash screen turned to white after unlocking the bootloader so I thought it was unlocked. I even tried unlocking it many times and every time the adb results were showing bootloader unlocking success but it tuned out it wasn't unlocked fully.
Today I used the official bootloader unlocking App from ASUS and unlocked the bootloader. I flash TWRP again and rebooted to recovery and BAM ! it booted to TWRP

Hello, I have similar problem with my Zenfone 2 Z00A. Bootloader seems to be unlocked because of white splash screen on start-up, but I cannot flash TWRP recovery via fastboot flash recovery ***.img. The process shows no problems/errors but despite that no TWRP after reboot.
Can you explain how you found out that bootloader was not unlocked fully?

I don't know why but after 4-th or 5-th attempt TWRP finally loaded.
Hi, I have a similar problem with my zenfone 2 z00A. My device is not rooted. I tried to use the process described here.

I tried bootloader unlock process with the app on my phone first, but after 4-5 times of use, it always came up with 'Network error'. I went with the 2nd part of unlocking bootloader to transfer TWRP imgae file. Now the phone is starting with a white splash screen and showing 4 options: Normal boot, Power off, Recovery mode and Restart bootloader. I have tried fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and fastboot boot 'twrp.img', but still can't get to TWRP recovery process.
